Well, it was the college the movie Animal House was based on (Chris Miller, Class of 1963 wrote the original stories and co-wrote the screenplay). The Alpha Delta house at Dartmouth College. All the antics make a whole lot more sense when one understands that Dartmouth was an all-male college a long, long way from the big cities and women's colleges, a relatively bright group of young men will get up to all kinds of mischief. Especially when there is no risk of finding oneself red-faced in front of a group of young ladies! When the college went co-ed in the early 1970's the civilizing impact of women calmed the place down a good bit.
We viewed giving blood a a kind of macho thing. The chance to win a keg of beer didn't hurt, either, nor did the homemade chocolate chip cookies that were available after you gave your pint! I still give blood regularly, but it's nowhere near so much fun.
